stop it. For now, what remains of society are busy
shutting down nuclear reactors and

Quotes"If

Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws,
tempt us to escalate arguments,
and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding
it."-- NBC's Bob Costas, stepping in it

Bob's right, of course, but nobody wants to hear it.America loves guns and
most people are OK with mass shootings
and senseless murder-suicides because
America loves guns.

That's not my opinion, that's a fact.
Every poll shows the idea of more serious gun control laws is a
non-starter.

Obama is weighing
military
options to secure Syria's chemical and biological weapons,
after U.S. intelligence reports show the Syrian regime may be readying
those weapons
and may be desperate enough to use them, U.S. officials said Monday.

Obama pointedly warned Syrian President Bashar Assad not to use his
arsenal.

"Today I want to make it absolutely clear to Assad and those under his
command:
The world is watching," Obama said. "The use of chemical weapons is and
would be
totally unacceptable. And if you make the tragic mistake of using these
weapons,
there will be consequences and you will be held accountable."

Hillary, in Prague for meetings with Czech officials, said she wouldn't
outline any specifics.

"We are certainly planning to take action if that eventuality were to
occur," Clinton said.

I like having a president who
doesn't want to go to war.

If we NEED to go to war, Obama couldn't have a better wartime
consiglieri than Hillary.

LinkI understand why some Democrats are
giddy over the chance of a Clinton candidacy;
I’ve gotten caught up in it occasionally, too. She’s the most popular
political figure in the country,
on either side of the aisle. And if Obama could pass her the baton in
2016, we’d get a chance at a
21st century New Deal, a 12 to 16 year Democratic era (maybe even more)
that could eventually
rival Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s in accomplishments.

In 2008, Mark Penn advised Clinton to minimize the historic nature of
her bid to be our first female
president, and to instead maximize her hawkishness and her credentials
to become the first female
commander-in-chief. He reportedly told her not to apologize for voting
to authorize the president to
use military force in Iraq, which opened up a large space on her left
for a newcomer who had
opposed the war (from the safety of Chicago), Sen. Barack Obama.

Punishing Success?I keep hearing
on the
news Republicans saying that we shouldn't raise taxes in the rich
because
we are "punishing success". Are you kidding me? They turned Wall Street
into a casino and when
they crashed the economy we had to bail them out. And that's what they
call success.

We bailed them out and we owe the money? No no no no no!
We bailed them out, that is not success, and they owe us money.

Why should we reward failure with upper class tax breaks and have their
wealth explode while
the rest of America is being tricked down upon? I don't think so! They
should pay us back through
higher taxes until their debt is paid off. They caused the problem and
we shouldn't be stuck paying for it.
Marc Perkel
It's also funny when the Republicans say, "Why raise taxes on
the rich? That won're balance the budget."That's such logic-free
thinking.

Why should *I* pay taxes? That
won't
balance the budget, either.

I say we make the super-rich
pay
MORE than their fair share and if they don't like it I'm sure there are plenty of
other
countires that would accept them - for a fee.

Romney’s
campaign having come to an ignominious end, new champions have
been called forth lest mobs of pitchfork-waving grandmas and
torch-bearing old men rendered
fearless by Dentu-Grip breach the walls of their elegant suburban
redoubts.ha
haNobody writes like Gene Lyons.

One such hero is
Lloyd
Blankfein, the universally revered CEO of Goldman Sachs. At least
that’s
how Scott Pelley presented him in a November 19 CBS News interview.
Adopting a tone of awed
deference most often reserved for British royalty and Hollywood
actresses with breasts bigger than
their heads, Pelley depicted Blankfein as “one of the world’s most
influential bankers.”Who better to advise the
nation
how to avoid the dread “fiscal cliff”—the latest phony, made-for-TV
Washington melodrama? The great man even permitted CBS cameras into the
Goldman Sachs trading
floor, which Pelley treated as a signal honor.A bunch of guys in neckties
sitting in front of computer screens, in case you missed it.
It could have been the sports betting room in any Las Vegas casino,
essentially a high-tech bookie joint.“When we asked Blankfein how
to
reduce the federal budget deficit,” Pelley said
“he went straight for the subject that politicians don’t want to talk
about.”

I doubt Blankfein would have much to tell CBS about the 2010 civil
fraud lawsuit the SEC filed
against Goldman for peddling junk derivatives it allegedly designed to
fail. Many thought criminal
charges would have been more appropriate. The bank ultimately settled for a $550
million fine.

If nobody went to jail they'll continue to screw more people.
They'll just factor in the fine as the cost of doing buisness, like
rent and utilities.

Obama's "Let's look forward" philosophy on crime could continue to
screw us for decades.

pretrial hearing will resume Tuesday afternoon in Lake Charles,
Louisiana for a gynecologist
charged with video voyeurism and sexual battery. The question is
whether prosecutors can use
evidence found in Dr. Peter LaFuria's truck.

LaFuria is charged with 186 counts of video voyeurism, 78 counts
of sexual battery and five counts of molestation of a juvenile.

So, this guy put a camera in his dressing room?
Or is it a whole lot worse than that?

Did he put a camera in his tie?

It doesn't say if he's a Republican or a Teabagger.
I guess we'll find out at the trial.

Bart, I am in oil (not big oil, but little oil).
As a landman, I am the one who goes to the courthouse to determine the
mineral
ownership, then I buy the leases for a client so that the client can
drill a well.

Which leads me to the estate tax lie. We hear stories from the
Republicans
about the family farm that had to be sold to pay the estate tax.

I have checked title to over 10,000 tracts of land in my 40+ year
career.
I won’t say it never happened, but I will say I never have seen it in
the land records.

Santorum continues his opposition to a push by Democrats to ratify a

equal rights for the disabled. Last week, he called it ”a direct
assault on us and our family.”
He says the treaty has “much darker and more troubling implications.”:
